WHAT MAY 1T MEAN?
The Demurrer in the Ward Case
OyerPuIed by Judge Hicks,

\ demurrer to the Indictment against
John f. Ward, eX-pOlice adjutant, for
Incorporating public moneys, was
argued yesterday before Judge Hicks.
Attorney Albert Knittle, for Ward,
claimed that the code pro
vided that a public officer who
appropriated public mOney,was guilty of
felony. But he held that there must be
some office of trust between the officer
and the city. He must have authority
by virtue of his office to receive money.
s police officer has no such authority.
Ii Ward had received money for
the city the act would be unlaw-
full, but the city council could not prose-
cute him. 1t was for the parties who
had paid over the money to prosecute.
County Attorney Davis said the in
dictment had been framed in the exact
language of the statute. The statute was
recent one and was drawn
to meet such a case as this. Its sub
stance was that public officer or any
other person receiving money for the
state, city, etc, who appropriated it or
Willfully omitted TO turn it over to the
city is guilty of felony. Whether he
was entitled or not to receive the money
was immaterial. The purpose of the
statute is TO guard the public money, no
matter into whose hands it may fall.
After some further argument on legal
points Judge Hicks Overruled the de-
murrer, and Ward was ordered to APP
pear for trial on the 9th of December at

THE PARK BOARD
Holds An Interesting Meeting in Spite
Of the Weather.
MAYOR AMES TAKES A HAND.
Several Plans For Park and Boulevard
improvements Discussed
Winter Sports.

The park board. for once in its his
tory, had winter meeting at which
there was full attendance, numer-
ically speaking, of course. E. NJ. Will
son offered a resolution authorizing the
purchase of nine acres, to take in the
Lake of the Isles park, for s135, 800,
which was adopted by a unanimous
vote. A resolution offered by Aid. E.
NJ. Mills, which authorized the aban-
dOnment of condemnation proceedings
for the boulevarding of Lyndale ave-
nue., between Twentieth and Twenty
fourth avenues north, was adopted, the
idea being to postpone matters until
title can be perfected by action OF the
city council. Commissioner Brown of
fered substitute providing that all
proceedings should be abandoned, and a
and the heavyweight from the
Second ward in which the boulevard
system was vigorously discussed. The
substitute was lost by a vote of nine to
four, and then the original motion was
carried with only one dissenting vote.
Commissioner E. NJ. Wilson explained
to the board the apparent OverdraftS re-
ferred to by Secretary Z. A. Stevens at
the preceding meeting. A request from
the Thistle Curling club for the use of
the lake at Central park during the
winter was referred to the committee on
amuSements. The Ninth ward park
created another lengthy discussion, Ow-
ing to some dispute OccOsiOned by the
report of the boards attorney, L. E.
ByrneS, who reported that only nine
acres of the MOultOn nursery could be
conveyed to the board, owing to the lay
i,,fr Of xx-INi IN
Aid. Mills considered that it would be
very small matter for the council to go
back upon its former resolution to pur-
chase the property.
The committee on designation re-
ported the valuation of lots and con-
corning the contemplated Powder Horn
park. The fact that the cost of the land
amounts to S41.500 proved dampener,
and the recommendation for the aban-
donment of proceedings was adopted.
Two thousand dollars an acre for an inn
prOvement which should be in reality
sustained by property owners of that
vicinity, was regarded by Mayor Ames,
President LOring and Commissioner In
genbutt as simply outrageous, and they
were very emphatic in their opposition
to what they seemed to consider an i'm
position.
The question of the disposed privileges
at Lakes Calhoun and Harriet was again
talked over, with no other termination
than that an advertisement to bidders
should be given. Mayor Ames again
stirred up the subject of winter sports,
and with warm indignation resented
certain insinuatiOns that he had any
personal motive in advocating the pro-
ject.
Com. Sutherland wanted to have
$1,000 appropriated for the paving of
Lyndale avenue, but his motion was
tabled. Supt. Berry was, however, in
structed to have the crossing on the ave-
nue. cleared during the winter.

Mr.. Lowry's New Departure.

The people of Minneapolis have
learned by years of observation that
when Thomas Lowry takes up new
business or introduces new meth
into his operations, they can
safely count it wise step. After.
many years of experience in real:
estate transactions, he evidently regards
title insurance the best of all plans for.
obtaining safe titles, for he has become:
a large patron of the Minnesota Title
Insurance company. One of the largest
policies every issued by the company
was written for him last week, and he.
has an application in for another twice
as large. Title insurance protects one
even against one of those insiduous de-
fects which are not of record and hence
are beyond the reach of the examiner,
however competent he be.

Tempting Bill Of Fare Pre-
scented This Week at the
Several TheatePs.
Sardou's Great Play "Theo-
dora" to Run the Full
Week at the Grand.
"Rag Baby for the Week at
the Kennepin--Tom Mast
Again TC Night.
"Galley Slave" at the Peoples
and wild Bill" at the
Penee--Notes.

The attraction at the Grand, all this
week, will be SardOu's great play,
"Theodora," which is conceded to be
the greatest production that has ever
emanated from this gifted French dram
atist, with the exception of ''Patrie"
and Fedora" Its production at the
Porte st. Martin tn eater, in Paris, with
Sarah Bernhard in the title role, where
it ran for nearly $50 nights, is still fresh
in the minds of Partisan theater gOers,
who hail the appearance of play from
the pen of SardOu with the eclat and en-
thusiasm that only the true Partisan can
thoroughly illustrate. Its production
in America was probably more a CUES
ton of time and money than many
American managers choose to admit.
In the first place, its production here
would have entailed such lavish eX
penditure, aside from the difficulty to
procure the magnificent setting the play
required and the rich StuffS for the cos
fumes and stage furnishings, that few
managers, probably, would have cared
to undertake it, That Miss OlcOtt did
undertake il, and that she succeeded,
entities her to no little credit.
Her narration of the manner in which
she went about it is very interesting.
She went to Paris with comparatively
no knowledge of French, except that
gained in the public schools, and sought
out the great dramatist who wrote
"TheOdora'' and told him she desired to
produce the play in America.
SardOu looked at her with a smile.
She went again and again. and finally
convinced him she was thoroughly in
earnest regarding the project she had
in view. And he, like all great men
who yet possess pliable natures, was
persuaded to believe in the sincerity of
her earnestneSS. When this conclusion
had been arrived at, the next thing to
do was to study the play, its scenes, lis
stage business, its dialogue, its scenery
and its settings in every detail. 1t was
the beginning of almost ceaseless hours
of work, and work of the hardest kind.

HIS OWN PETARD.
Tobacco Amenities Among the
City Officials.

City Officials.
Judge Lars NJ. Rand ,he of the peach
bloom cheeks, is vainly trying to sup
press story that is now going the
rounds. A few days ago he
waltzed gaily into Secretary of
the Park Board Stevens office
and offered Ed a cigar. Ed some
what surprised at the sudden OutburSt
of generosity, smelled joke, took the
cigar and pretending to tumble in his
pocket for match, substituted the cigar
for one he had in his pocket.
He then lighted it and began
smoking. Mr.. Rand waited patiently
for the explosion to come, but
none came. He suddenly thought he
might have given the genial secretary
good cigar and was smoking the loaded
one himself. So he dropped the weed
he was smoking in cuspidOr
and went away. In the after
noon he dropped in on business
and Mr.. Stevens determined to get
even. Pulling cigar from his pocket,
he calmly lighted it. As he expected,
Mr.. Rand asked him if he had another.
Ed fished around in his pocket, and
finally pulled out One-the one Rand
had given him in the mOrning-and
handed it to the smiling assistant city
attorney, who at once applied match
to it. 1t smoked all right for one
minute, and then a stream of red fire
yard long bust forth. To say that Lars
was surprised and shocked does not do
him justice. He fell over two chairs,
and when he arose he wanted to Smite
Stevens. But on being informed that it
was the same cigar he worked off in the
morning he cooled down and squared
matters by setting up the cigars all
around,

THE EMPRESS on THE THRONE.

There is not a line in the play, no matter
to whom ii may belong, that has not been
acted between them; there is not bit of
business introduced that SardOu did not
plan; every piece of stage furniture,
every couch. every chair. every table is
arranged as he drew the plans for them
to be placed. There is not an entrance
nor an exit by any character in the
play that was not advised by him; there
IS not a situation between Theodore
and the Emperor. or between her and
AndreaS, that was not arranged under
SardOu's direction. All the bits of
stage business, about which so much
has been said, were planned by him,
and the prompt books that he himself
prepared and sent, scene by scene as
they were finished, to Miss OlcOtt. The
stage settings themselves and the seen
cry were made under the direction of
the author of the play, and are dupli-
Gates of the original stage settings used
in Paris at the Porte st. Martin. All
the materials for the cushions. the
cOucheS, the draperies and the rugs
were brought from Paris, while the
scenery, which could not be made there
owing to the difference of the manner in
manufacturing it there and here,
was correctly painted upon minia-
lulN SldSC NClo lildJ NClC III
every detail, and were brought TO Amer
lea andreproduced on a scale sufficiently
large to be used in the production. The
utmost adherence to the correctness of
the costumes and the stage furnishings
regarding the period in which the play
is laid has been maintained. The play,
historically of course, DIVORCES for the
sake of dramatic situations, as the En-
press in history named Theodore ruled
and died at a ripe old age, but she was
the woman in the circus. as is the TheO-
dora in SardOu's play: she never was an
actress; she had never risen to even
that dignity in that profession: she was
juggler and woman of the lowest
order. as was the real Theodore that
history hands down. only the real TheO-
dora reformed. But no French dra-
matiSt would be induced under any con-
SideratiOn to sacrifice telling stage sit
nations and dramatic strength for the
sake of cold morality.

AGAME OF POKER.
Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, and

Words.

Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, and J.
A. Clark, the Philadelphia lightweight,
got into row yesterday at the gymna-
sum, where Weir is training for his
meeting with Warren. Both are clog
dancers, and in some way discussion
resulted as to their respective abilities
in that time. Suddenly Weir grew
furious, and catching up a poker,
threatened to remove Clark head from
his shoulders. The men were separ-
ated by the spectators who were present
for the purpose of seeing Weir at work,
and both expressed regret at the
occurrence a few minutes later. Weir,
by the way, possesses a disposition that
would be generally dominated as
cranky" and was without doubt to
blame for the unpleasant episode. He
seems TO be simply bundle of nerves,
and his temper is as quick as his blows.
He got the poker from the stove and had
it raised over Clark head in a second

Fridley property is certainly coming to the
front in great shape, as witness new and
solid manufacturing enterprise located there
this week. The Tyner Spark ArreSter is an
article. that attracted great attention at the
Exposition and also at the State Fair. 1t is
a device patented by Mr.. Tyner, which effect
ually prevents the sparks from escaping
from the smoke stacks of engines, and hence
prevents fires from such cause. This spark
arrester has been successfully manufactured
for over a year. and has paid the company
about 100 per cent on their stock. There are
many hundreds of the Tyner Spark Arresters
in daily use, which were SOLD UNDER
GUARANTY THAT IF THEY DID NOT DO
THE WORK AS REPRESENTED THEY
REFUNDED. NOT AN ARRESTER HAS
EVER BEEN RETURNED, and the stock of
the old concern, which has been absorbed by
the new location at Fridley, has been refused

before it.
